An extraordinary antique Italian maiolica garniture set attributed to Agostinelli Dal Pra of Nove, Italy, dating to the late 19th to early 20th century. Richly adorned with vibrant hand-painted decoration, reticulated openwork, scrolling Rococo flourishes, and romantic scenic cartouches, this museum-worthy set embodies the lavish artistry of historic Nove ceramics.
The centerpiece bowl features an elaborate pierced border surrounding hand-painted pastoral panels in vivid cobalt blue, blush pink, chartreuse, and gilt detailing. Accompanied by its matching sculptural double-handled vase, the pair creates a striking statement display with unmistakable old-world grandeur.
Marked to the underside with the shooting star mark associated with Nove Italian maiolica workshops.
